Noah's monologue or the audience laughing at it.

First as NHK said... Trevor's jokes or people laughing at them... which is worse? Then the same for the Maher bit and the audience's laughing. He was stupid, not funny. Guess Trevor wasn't on the poor working people's side. Clearly Maher thinks he can tell us how to think. R.I.P. comedy, poisoned by neolibs, 2016. I hope someone finds a cure. All the late night people sound like Neera Tanden and Robby Mook wrote their jokes, maybe some help from Podestas or the Clintons themselves. It is all out war within a razor thin narrow 1 degree field of topic matter, whilst everything else is ignored. Maher complaining about Goldman Sachs in Trumps Cabinet whilst praising Hillary (and therefore Obama) that are both wholly owned by them... gadzooks. He thinks we are stupid, which makes him so, since we're not.

Trevor, Bill Maher, Sam Bee, S. Colbert, all establishment mouthpiece sellouts for the money. Which predicates one becoming unfunny.

that share their worldview. Because, if Bill really wants it, I'll happily provide a piece, in his style, which he might understand...

Bill, shut the fuck up. Your writers have people to make their lunches for them. Not only have their lunches made for them, but to their specifications. On Demand. Every Single Working Day. They can pay for that. You can pay for that. I can't, and I don't find your joke about how slow the guy is funny!
With that in mind, how dare you try to understand physical labor, when apparently all you can muster is half hearted toss every night where you try to show us all how manly and edgy you are. Hell, at least masturbation provides a moment of relief, when all you do is grunt like a man who enjoys cheese and not hydrating.
So, Bill, take your opinion, your firm, hard opinion, and try munching on a little of it yourself. I guarantee that it will not taste as good as it did when you were digesting it.

When I watched this video, I was horrified.

Did anyone else notice the dissonance between the striking workers sitting peacefully on the hill, clanging their metal instruments to make noise and voicing their demands, and the "OFFICIALS" claiming they needed to end "the violence?"

I'm sorry: WHAT FUCKING VIOLENCE?

And many of the interviewed "officials" aren't white.

If this doesn't illustrate the issue of oligarchy and social control, I don't know what does.

(added words for clarity)
article of Khaled A Beydoun and the video by Trevor Noah. I think Noah made very valuable points in it and very clear.

Standing with Trevor Noah: a World Cup for France is a win for Africa too - Khaled A Beydoun

I hate to explain it, but rest assured having been married to a french speaking African living in Germany and the US, I know one thing:

If you are a black African (from the french speaking African regions) and married to a French woman, the African becomes a Frenchman. And if the African help the French getting some glory in sports or something else, he becomes a Frenchman.

If you are a black french or English speaking African (from french and english speaking African regions) and are married to German woman or win some glory in a German sports team for the Germans, you stay African and never are considered a German. (You have examples of that today).

In the US you become something hyphenated, whatever that might be. Noah Trevor just made that clear and it is true. I can speak about it, because of my decade long observations and experiences. So, I stick by my question in my comment here:

I think we have three sorts of brothers or sisters:
1. ideological brothers in arms (or sisters)
2. ethnic brothers and sisters, who we feel we belong to
3. your own family brothers and sisters.

I happen to believe that betrayal of all those sorts of brothers and sisters cause pain and hurt, on a personal, political or community level. Therefore I quit thinking about if one brother or sister is worse than the other one. It never helped me to do so.

One formerly colonial nation caters to the ideological status of his fellow African, one other former colonial nation caters to the ethnic/racial status of his fellow African, and the next one in line of emperial nation caters to nothing much at all as long a the money is right and they can keep their weapons.

Noah is my brother and child. No reason to hate him. He has not done anything, certainly not ridiculed the killed Africans in the miners strike by his comedy.

And for those who can't get over the "official voice" in the video from the miners strikes.
My African french speaking niece would have said: "Wake up and smell the coffee". I just wonder who is naive. Not the Africans, I would say.

Shute, this conversation and article has spoiled my Sunday Morning coffee.

and a South African black woman. Even as a small child or young teenager he certainly was aware of the "apartheid laws". Apartheid laws ended in the early 1990ies. Noah was six years old. Read his bio. His comedian career developed out of "coping" mechanisms. So who are you, to say "fuck you, Trevor Noah".

If he had been born to Swiss white mother and a South African black father, would it make a difference to you? Are you aware that it makes a difference? Context is everything. And contexts are complex. Not everyone takes the effort to try to understand the contexts. Noah did.

Bunch of baloney. Sigh. Why do I even get into this? I am an idiot. Sigh.
